SUSHI BIKES: Making urban commuting more sustainable with their sleek and accessible e-bikes. 🚴♂️ 2. Black Tea Motorbikes: Redefining the electric two-wheeler market with powerful, retro-inspired e-motorbikes. 🏍️ Unlike many e-mobility concepts that struggled to align with market needs, Black Tea Motorbikes delivers practical solutions with a strong appeal to both urban riders and adventure enthusiasts. As Munich seeks to retain its reputation as a mobility innovation capital, VCs and investors have a unique opportunity to support this promising company.
